Our goal is to transform the face of hunger and sport in the United States.
THANK YOU!!! The 1st Annual Hunger Tournament was a huge success!!!
This weekend at Scottsdale Ranch Park, we were able to raise over $3000 for St. Mary's Food Bank and collected around 200 pounds of food! Not to mention, everyone had a great time and our teams were awesome enough to play through the rain and hail!! Thank you to everyone who participated, we appreciate all the enthusiasm and support.
Lauren,
I would also like to to say thank you for your hard work to raise both the money and food to donate to St Mary's Food Bank. The numbers of our neighbors needing food is at record levels and the amount we distribute continues to put a strain on our inbound donations. Even though the amount of food we distribute is huge, it ultimately comes down to donations of one meal, one can, one dollar or one volunteer hour from the community that enable us to serve our mission. We are able bring it all together, create efficiencies in our handling and distribution processes, and maximize those donated resources. We truly appreciate your efforts and those at Athletes Promise.
Happy Holidays!
